History Recap / AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheBlueSpirit

* SplittingTheArrow: While the Yu-Yan Archers are shown at a firing range, one of them splits an arrow, then splits that arrow, and finally the third arrow in succession, so each is embeded in the other.

After rescuing Sokka from the storm in the previous episode, 'The Blue Spirit' begins with Katara and Sokka both falling ill. Sokka, who started with nothing more than a cough, is now falling into horrible delusions and is barely lucid. Katara attempts to care for him, only to begin coughing herself, prompting Aang to fear for both his friends' lives.

[[spoiler:Hours later, Zuko awakes into a swamp. Aang sits not far away, talking about how he loved visiting the Fire Nation when he was a kid, and how one of his best friends was from there. He wonders if they could be friends too.]]

** [[spoiler:{{Brought Down to Badass}}]]: The Blue Spirit is actually [[spoiler: Zuko, who just isn't using his firebending to avoid revealing his identity.]]
* BecomingTheMask: Aang hoped that [[spoiler:Zuko]] would have become this.

Aang sets off to find medicine from a local healer; however, Zhao has been recently promoted, and wastes no time in using his new clout to send a contingent of elite archers to capture him. Both gathering the cure and evading the archers proves to be too much for Aang, and he is captured. Imprisoned, and with both Katara and Sokka having no idea where he is and in no condition to save him, Aang finally seems defeated. Suddenly, a ninja in a blue mask appears, frees Aang, and motions for him to follow.

The masked ninja refuses to speak, but the two manage to escape to the courtyard before being spotted. Despite the Blue Spirit being unable to bend, they fight off guards left, right and center. However, the gates are hurriedly closed before they can make it through, and they are cornered by Zhao and his soldiers. Upon hearing Zhao say Aang must be taken alive, the Blue Spirit quickly brings a sword to Aang's neck, knowing that Zhao can't risk the Avatar's death. Zhao lets them escape- only to have an archer aim an arrow at the Blue Spirit's head.

After rescuing Sokka from the storm in the previous episode, 'The Blue Spirit' witnesses Katara and Sokka both falling ill with a flu. Sokka who started with nothing more than a cough is now falling into horrible delusions and barely lucid, prompting Aang to fear for both his friends' lives.

To help them, Aang sets off to find medicine from a local healer; however, Zhao sends archers to capture him, and they succeed. Imprisoned, and with both his allies hallucinating with no idea where he is, Aang finally seems defeated- if it were not for a ninja in a blue-mask to come and save him.

Zhao let's them escape- only to have an archer aim an arrow at the Blue Spirit's head.

Seeing the sniper, Aang moves quickly; the arrow hits, knocking the mask off, and revealing the spirit's face. [[spoiler: It's Zuko. Fearful and uncertain, Aang decides that he can't leave the prince to be captured, and takes him away.]]

* {{Brought Down to Badass}}: When the Blue Spirit infiltrates the fortress where Aang is held,[[spoiler: he doesn't firebend at all, as fire is bright and not at all stealthy.]] In the worst case, doing so would have risked revealing his identity as [[spoiler: Prince Zuko.]]

* {{Brought Down to Badass}}: [[spoiler: Zuko infiltrates the fortress where Aang is held without firebending once. If he had, it would have ruined the element of stealth, and could also have gotten him recognized by Aang or Zhao.]]
